I guess a lot of you young naive gamers are just really spoiled. I can't believe how much whining there is over how this game isn't more like Morrowind.

Skyrim is a towering achievement in RPG/Video Game development. You obviously have no clue how much work and effort went into this game and it came out absolutely amazing.

It will go down in history as one of the best RPGs ever, alongside the likes of Baldur's Gate 2.

Morrowind who?

Put 150+ hours in the game then come back and give us your opinion. Me, being very optimistic, and a TES really devoted fan has gripes about skyrim. But its natural, no game is perfect.

I would have punched someone in the throat for uttering a bad word about skyrim... back when i only got to riverwood and was exploring caves, then you slowly realize, cave after cave, after cave, after cave... after cave. that theres not going to be anything truly awesome, except for caves.

no just not true this game is fun and good but this is far from a towering achievement

Once you've been to Blackreach nothing in Skyrim can amaze you any longer.

As someone who grew up with BASIC games, 5 1/4" floppy disks, and the TRS 80 - (clowns and balloons anyone?) - I completely disagree.

Waaaa waaaa I'm bored of skyrim because I played it 24 hours a day for a week. I need a life and I rely on Bethesda to make one for me

That's not a bad thing though. That place is just awesome. I've never said w-t-f out loud in awe of a game before. Even my Fiancee did.

I've put in 100hrs easily. It took me months/years to do that with Oblivion.

Morrowind is LARGELY responsible for this whole fusion between RPG and Open-World-Adventure.

If ANYTHING, Morrowind is the "towering achievement."

Darthbored, you put in 150+ hours in 11 days and are now bored?

Don't bother... This generation is way to spoiled to even know how to appreciate anything, let alone see it as an amazing piece of immersive technology. They already looking forward to the next TES, or COD, OR whatever is next in line to play through mindlessly and quickly vanish from their souls .

Ridiculous. Really. I'm 85 hours in and almost every dungeon has something unique. You need to stop and look around not just sprinting from enemy to enemy and you'll find plenty of unique things in almost every dungeon.

Opinions. A lot of people have them.

I've played every TES game except Redguard and the phone apps. I love Skyrim and it is a HUGE improvement over OB in many ways. So ... I'm not going to complain. Sure I could always find something wrong if I try hard enough. Bugs are also easy to find. I can say the leveling system doesn't work the best with MY playstyle. But all in all, I know I'll be playing this game for years just like I did the last ones.

So, the game is epic to me. Should I care what anyone else thinks? Should I argue with anyone who doesn't agree? ... I'll get back to you later. Lydia shot another Giant in the back with her bow. Dang the girl has a deathwish ...

Ive played 139 hours so far. I agree with the OP and i doubt the next 11 hours to hit the 150 mark will change my opinion.

There sure are things I would have done differently (http://i.imgur.com/LvUlP.jpg, for example) but Skyrim remains one of the great / best games I have played. I like to think I am objective. I also like the fact that on PC, I *can* fix some of the things I would like changed.

As someone who grew up playing those same games (that's right, I'm only eighteen and I was raised on Sierra and Lucas Arts games like King's Quest and LOOM) - I completely disagree.

You're comparing games from 20 years ago, to a game today. You have to compare Skyrim to what has already been achieved, and what is being achieved currently and it simply doesn't stack up.

It's a good game, yeah - it's not a groundbreaking one though.

LOL. And here I was just sitting here remaniscing about the time when computer shops actually had lots of games (shareware bins etc...), and Electronics Boutique was a great place to get the next gold box D and D.

You noob. You're supposed to be fighting dragons. Not going into caves.
Pshaw.

When whiners start preaching about Morrowind, it's your cue to put them on ignore and walk away.

This game is a lot more fun if you stay off the forums and people's worthless opinions, except for tech support

You know, as a gamer from this generation I'm pretty offended by that.
I was raised on Sierra games like King's Quest and Lucas Arts games like Maniac Mansion and LOOM just like your generation was.

Not all of us are screaming COD [censored] who buy whatever crap EA churns out every year.

This.

People who charge nuts-first into a game usually overdose and tire of it pretty quickly. Play 4 hours a day and you're setting a pace to enjoy the game for a much longer period of time. Play 15 hours a day and yes, FFS, you're going to get bored. 15 hours a day and you're basically blasting through content at a frantic pace. Slow the [censored] down and try to extract some enjoyment out of it.

(anyone up to "150+" hours has been playing ~14 hours per day)

If your 18 you certainly did not grow up with these types of things, in the same manner as I. Since, when Clowns and Balloons was released you were still 11 years from inception. At the risk of being arogant, I will say that you cannot have the same sort of life lens as I do, in this situation.

it doesn't stack up to what is being achieved currently? Are you actually joking? Bethesda are the only company doing anything remotely interesting in the entirety of the games industry - they make sprawling open world games with hundreds of hours of gameplay. Literally NO ONE makes anything anywhere close to what these guys do. They are in a league of their own, and yet to you, somehow, what they have done with skyrim doesn't 'stack up'. Stop talking out of your anus


ps - I have to lol at all these kids coming to the forum heart broken that they have pumped 150 hours into a game in ELEVEN days, and are becoming bored with it. Funny too, how most of them seem to have powergamed through the entire thing, become overpowered, and done quest after quest and quest in an effort to 'beat' the game. To these people - YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE GO BACK TO COD! you do not 'beat' an elder scrolls rpg

+1


Are you serious?....

108 hours, not quite 150 yet, but I doubt I'll change my opinion. Every single dungeon I've hit, and I've hit a lot of them, is in some way unique or interesting, the world itself is huge and regions are definitely unique, characters (and many factions) have traits and motivations I can sympathize with, plotlines and politics are well-considered.

I wish there were more to so many little parts of the game, but really, until someone comes out with a powerful-but-cheap adaptable VI we can run on our home consoles/computers, we're just not going to see that much branching in video game options and storylines. That's where the CS comes in, and I can hardly wait for it to be released.

I played and modded Morrowind for years (months worth of actual time invested) and it was an excellent game. Skyrim has at least matched it in scope, style, and modding potential, and it did it all without butt-ugly ash storms or cliff racers.
